Time after time he would hand me the Black Widow and nod towards the pop can. Ben was the only person that I know of that was real proficient with one of those Mini revolvers. Ben's 'Black Widder' as he called it could very well have had more rounds fired through it than any other on the planet. The little gun was powder burned black in front of the cylinder and there was a coffee can full of empty 22 mag casings next to the the old swivel chair that was adjusted to fit Ben and noone else. Ben was getting up in years so his young crew would be out doing tree jobs while Ben sharpened chains, did paper work, drank coffee and shot his NAA Black Widow at a can sitting on the splitter.

He would have a cup of coffee in one hand and his Biting Spider pistola in the other. Ben would be sitting across the room next to his saw sharpening bench. Directly behind the log was a big pile of stacked fire wood for heating the shop. Many a time I walked into Big Bens shop there wood be a splitting log sitting on end with a pop can sitting on top of it. Ben owned a very lucrative tree service business. My old Buddy Ben Crawford carried one in his bibbed overhaul pocket for as long as I knew him. Who besides Will and I think the NAA Black Widow is intriguing?
